Dr. Stephen Tyman joins Jeremy for a conversation about the problem of evil and its relationship to the Confederation's concept of polarized seeking. Steve gives an introduction to how evil has been historically regarded, ranging from a notion of evil as a mere absence of good to the idea of evil as a positive value diametrically opposed to good. They analyze the character and recognizable traits of service-to-self other selves in psychological, spiritual, political, and philosophical aspects, including how service-to-others seekers might relate to those of the opposite polarity.Apologies for the diminished audio quality.

After a few thoughts on how seekers think about careers, Nithin and Jeremy discuss the nature and function of intuition and how it relates to other aspects of mind. They delve into a 1986 Laleema transcript that addresses intuition and intellectual analysis, comparing them to listening and speaking, respectively. Both are required, and only the balance between the two can help one to reach the true goal: the Creator. It is in incarnation that we get the mixture right because our lessons become firmly grounded in the lasting consequence of making one choice rather than another. Intellectual analysis in particular can help one discern which intuitions are genuine insight and which are expressions of imbalanced emotions; even skepticism and doubt can serve the discovery of genuine faith. This faith, coupled with will, constitute the heart of seeking, Laleema says, allowing us to discover resources beyond ourselves bringing to fruition our recovery of our true identity as the Creator.Show NotesLaleema on intuition and analysis (May 18, 1986)David Goggins (davidgoggins.com)Discussion on intuition and desire (Bring4th Forum)Ra on mind and intuition (Session 30, Question 2)Ra on implicit but unrecognized polarity before the veil (Session 93, Question 5) Ra on the Creator experiencing itself (Session 82, Question 10)Ra on the function of intuition (Session 49, Question 4)Auxhall on stories of the mind versus intuition (March 12, 2023)Q'uo on emotion and intuition (November 26, 1989)Hatonn on faith and patience (April 23, 2023)Q'uo on the extension of free will past the mover/moved polarity (May 18, 2022)Ra on all being well despite negative time/space displacement (Session 69, Question 11)Ra on balancing by accentuating imbalance (Session 104, Question 2) Q'uo on the significance of individuality (June 19, 2023)Living out will and faith in our daily lives (The Building 4th Podcast, Part 1 and Part 2)Monka on opening to greater resources(August 26, 2023)

On this very special fiftieth episode, we have assembled the High Altitude Receiving Center (HARC) Circle, the current channeling body of the Other Selves Working Group , for a conversation on the nature, purpose, and frontiers of channeling in the tradition of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Infinite Creator. Nithin and Jeremy welcome founding Working Group member and senior HARC Circle channel Dr. Stephen Tyman to discuss channeling and the recent Fourth Channeling Intensive they participated in.In this wide ranging discussion, the three instruments discuss the concepts of channeling and tuning consciousness from the ground up. Steve details the concerns that go into the preparation and dedication of the self to serve as an instrument in a safe, protected, and spiritually salutary manner, not denying the pitfalls and increased catalyst. They talk about some of the practices and approaches they use in their circle, including how they think about the instrument's responsibility and role in the messaging. The recently released eleven channeling sessions recorded in June at the Fourth Channeling Intensive are also addressed along with the finer points of these channeling experiences and where the project may go from here.Show NotesCurriculum Vita of Stephen Tyman (Southern Illinois University)The Other Selves Working Group Fourth Channeling Intensive (High Altitude Receiving Center)Q'uo on accelerated catalyst (August 2, 2021)Q'uo on everything being fine / all is well (May 19, 2022)Ra on the duration of densities (Session 77, Question 17)Laitos on Planet Earth as the unconscious of the social memory complex (July 31, 2021)Ra on instruments reserving energy ahead of contact (Session 44, Question 8)

Exploring individuality and our true nature, the podcast delves into balancing our spiritual center with our personality, living dual lives, and incarnating to unite both aspects. It discusses accepting and releasing elements of self, understanding our true nature as infinite, and exploring distortions of evolution. The conversation touches on spirituality, self-discovery, and the intersection of rationality and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of compassion, self-awareness, and embracing individuality within the interconnected universe.

On this episode, Jeremy discusses dreams and dreamwork with Jamie Liestman, long time seeker in the Law of One tradition who presented on the subject at the Working Group's April membership meeting. Drawing from contacts with Q'uo and Ra, they explore the purpose and use of dreams in polarization and the discipline of the personality, examining Confederation insight into the sometimes misunderstood role of emotional resonance in this time/space aspect of consciousness. Several techniques for working more compassionately and authentically with dreams are addressed, and this prompts some subtle but profound changes in how we think about the mind and consciousness.Show NotesRa on the nature of dreams (Session 86)Charlie Morley (Website)Ra on the role of veiling in dreams (Session 83, Question 3)Q'uo on working with dreams (April 12, 1989)Quo on dreams as the seeding of new thought patterns (March 27, 1988)Ra on the vocabulary of dreams (Session 95, Question 18)Jamie's talk on dreamwork (The Other Selves Working Group Youtube channel)

Exploring the sinkhole of indifference in Confederation philosophy, the podcast delves into the challenges of choosing between service-to-others and service-to-self, the feedback loop of remaining unpolarized, and the impact on spiritual growth. It discusses breaking free from comfort and stasis, awakening to conscious choices, and the transformative journey towards sudden enlightenment. Reflecting on balancing energies, embracing caring for personal growth, and the interconnectedness of human relations.

In this bonus episode, Jeremy shares a presentation he gave at the May 2023 Other Selves Working Group general membership meeting on a model for how seekers can be organized to provide community, resources, and support in a redundant, reliable, in-depth manner.Show NotesThe Council for Social MemoryLaitos on the planet as the social memory complex's latent unconscious (July 31, 2021)Presentation video (YouTube)

Nithin and Jeremy welcome Jon Firman to discuss ritual magic and its place in practicing the Law of One philosophy. Jon tells us a bit about his experience with the western magical tradition, and we explore the Confederation's ideas on the matter. Those of Ra confirm a definition of magic as the ability to effect changes in consciousness at will, and we discuss the issues at play in honing that personal will and the way it works with polarization, service, the Archetypal Mind, prayer, and other topics with which this podcast normally deals.

Jeremy and Nithin assemble once more to tackle one of the greatest mysteries of the Creation: balancing the cosmic force of love with the poise of wisdom. After defining these concepts, they explore how these attempts we make at balance look and feel in life, addressing their impact on the energy centers, our ethics, and our service. This balance is something even those of Ra and the Confederation have gotten wrong, and they explore how the mechanism of trial and error navigates spiritual evolution through the many temptations of excessively foolish love and manipulative, calculating wisdom of the negative path. However, with compassionate wisdom that partakes of the deeper aspects of our intelligence and our faith, one can accept the pain and hardship of catalysis as part of the mystery of incarnate agency. This pushes us to learn how one can help the Creator guide its love and light where it might best help without such a tight attachment to a specific approach or outcome. Through reflection and inner inquiry we build a capacity to use our lessons to build wisdom with a light touch. We do not need to close our heart or foreclose on our creative ability to transcend zero sum scenarios in weighing the tough decisions stemming from service.Show NotesQ’uo on love and wisdom (July 31, 2021)Ra on missteps in ancient Egypt (Session 1, Question 5; Session 23, Question 6)Ra on the Venusian negatively polarized wanderers (Session 89, Question 35)Monka on the temptation of urgent assertion of self (January 15, 2023)Ra on wisdom and compassion in service (Session 42, Question 7)Q’uo on the Barbara Brodsky/Aaron backstory (October 8, 2006)Hatonn on experience accruing into wisdom (August 18, 1985)

Nithin joins Jeremy to discuss an area of shared interest: the orange and yellow ray energy centers and the way they are worked with in our very human, very organized lives. Distinguishing between those one-on-one, orange ray relationships and the more coordinated, socially inflected yellow ray roles is not always clear. However, the more we can understand our catalyst in these two centers, the more we can open the pathway to the green ray center, the springboard to the higher energies. These issues and frameworks for approaching them are discussed in light of friendships, professional settings, power dynamics, service opportunities, and other real world situations where the effect of the cultural and personal distortions vary.Show NotesRa on yellow and orange ray possession issues (Session 32, Question 14)The Master-Slave Dialectic (The Phenomenology of Spirit, G.
